"I think Brenda, the instructor, was awesome. I was always uncomfortable with Microsoft Excel. For the first time, I really feel I can work with Excel...no more butterflies in the stomach."

Lumity Training

Lumity offers a new suite of courses that will provide practical tools for managing your organization’s resources. Whether you're considering starting a nonprofit organization, trying to survive in these challenging times, or wanting to communicate with your donors and supporters more effectively, Lumity courses can help you with many critical aspects of managing your nonprofit. We also continue to offer hands-on training in Excel and Access. We are pleased to announce our new no training course cancellation policy. Lumity's commitment to you is that if you register for one of our training courses it will be held as scheduled! We will no longer cancel a course if we don’t reach a minimum number of registered attendees, or for any other reason. So you can be assured that you will receive the training that you expect, when you expect it. These half-day training courses -- normally $75 per person per session -- are now offered to Lumity members at no additional cost. Courses are $75 per person per session for nonmembers. Note: Participants are required to pre-register for all classes. Registration is on a first come basis. Space is limited. We require a three (3) day notice of cancellation. Failure to do so may result in loss of future free training privileges with Lumity.  

Lumity now provides training on Microsoft’s newest office suite -- Office 2007.  Learn how to maximize your impact with this powerful new software tool!

Note regarding building security at 29 East Madison: Our building's management has made some changes to its security procedures that will affect attendees to Lumity's Training Center:

  • All visitors to the building will now be asked to show ID at the security sign-in desk. If you do not have an ID, you will not be allowed in the building. 
  • The Wabash Street door will be locked at all times. You may exit the building through the Wabash St. door, but will only be able to enter through that door with an authorized key card or fob.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our building secure and safe for everyone.
